<< < (2/3) > >>

petergalileo:
:D Dont need the arms, they are fine, just wanted to change the bushes before fitting the tanks as it will be a lot of hastle to do once they are fitted.

muddysteve:
no worries

a word of warning is you will need to remover the arms to replace the axle end bushes and they can be a real pain in the backside, a 30 tonne press wouldnt get mine out, had to use the oxy-acetaline gear in the end and burn them out

eh........No

if they need done get them done,if not it leads to scary scary handling & a set of clunks that you will spend ages looking for,can also cause wear on other components,

BTW there is 2 widths of bushes to go in the front of the radious arms (axle end) & the top hat bushes at the chassis are the same for disco/rangie/def & about £1 each,the radious arm bushes are about £4 each

Bulli:
Trust me buy the ones for 40 quid, you could spend that in sweat trying to get the old ones out! Bargain at 40 as you will spend at least 25 on the bushes anyway. Worth doing as they will improve you handling and front axle travel if you havent already got polybushes.
A large angle grinder will get the old ones out if they are really stubborn(usually) and dont forget loads of copperslip on the bushes and bolts when you put them back.
